Stroke: Time is Brain

Stroke: Time is Brain

As recently as the 1990s, most doctors and researchers thought there might never be effective treatments for stroke. For centuries before that, victims of stroke were thought to have been "struck down" as if by lightning, by mysterious or evil forces. Now, due to the heroic efforts of researchers around the globe, stroke can be treated, but only if patients receive treatment quickly enough.
